To mark the onset of winter, the Khar (West)-based Deliciae Patisserie has launched Strawberry Specials, a menu comprising desserts that use the seasonal fruit. Available between 10am and 11:30pm, the offerings include shortcakes, pastries, banoffee pies, cakes and tarts, prepared by chef Bunty Mahajan.

“This time of the year is the most exciting for me, because strawberries are back, and I love making scrumptious desserts and cakes with fresh strawberries,” she said.

“In all the cakes, you will find an abundance of fresh strawberries; I have used them in many different ways, combining chocolate, cream, cream cheese and more,” Mahajan added.

“You will find the ever-famous Rich Choc Strawberry, Choc Strawberry meringue, Strawberry Shortcake and many more delicious creations,” she stated.
